The upcoming season follows a bittersweet Olympic year for Richardson. Despite falling short of gold in the 100m, where St Lucia’s Julien Alfred clinched victory, Richardson demonstrated her mettle by anchoring Team USA to gold in the Women’s 4x100m relay.

Alongside Olympic gold medalist Gabby Thomas and teammates Twanisha Terry and Mellisa Jefferson, Richardson’s stellar performance was a testament to her unyielding spirit and ability to shine on the grandest stages.

As Richardson dives back into training, fans and competitors alike will be watching closely. With a mix of grit, heart, and unshakable confidence, she aims to make the 2025 season one to remember.
